Episode notes

We begin with the announcement of the Group Porteur consortium taking charge of the construction of the new Gatineau-Ottawa tramway. This transformative project will provide sustainable and efficient transportation, connecting downtown Gatineau and Ottawa. But let's shift gears to a concerning issue in the construction industry. OSWA, the Ontario Structural Wood Association, is sounding the alarm about the looming crisis of an aging workforce. They are actively working with colleges to encourage young people to pursue careers in this field, offering bursaries and internships to secure the future of the industry.
